Any airline can chose whether they check through on to separate tickets or not. BA does not, but QR now do so. It isn't BA's position to turn around now and say QR shouldn't have done it.

Through check-in
Qatar Airways is pleased to offer passengers the courtesy of through check of themselves and their bags to their final destination when travelling on multi-sector journeys involving connections onto other oneworld member airlines, even when the trip is booked using separate tickets. However, customers should note that through check may not be possible on their return journey if there trip starts with another airline that does not provide the same level of service.
